Harry Potter books.

Twilight saga.

Literary question? Light the Smeag signal.

I always do this in my short stories. Usualy as part of the last line.

It needs a name. But I can't think of one.

Another example would be the Hitchhiker's Guide books.

But yeah I have no idea if there's a name for that

Brave New World was pretty good, did my thesis this year on it.

Let's call it a literary waffle.

Ima gonna do that for my story called "Ouch."

Oooooh-I-swear-I-just-read-something-about-that-but-now-I-can't-remember-what-it's-called-aughhhhhh-hold-on.

Never thought about it. There definitely should be a name for it.

I say we dub it.. entitlement. No wait. That's taken.

Literary waffle is too derivative of the suggester's name. I say it should be literary slap.

From my friend Jordan:

Um, I have no idea what the official name for that would be. If he/she is trying to describe this, just describing it as an overt theme or metaphor, or even an allegory, might be sufficient.

 

OH! And I should have realized this, since I just took an exam partially on The Tempest, but "brave new world" is from the play.

Don't know if that helps, but that's all this English major has to offer at the mo.

So, I guess at the moment it's a "over theme or metaphor, or even an allegory"?

Can't be an allegory.

I still say it's a title drop.

Yes, I'm aware that quote was from The Tempest, just as the title of Achebe's story was taken from a poem by Yeats.

So far the best I've got is 'moment of eponymy.' 'Title drop' works too, but there should be a single word...Oh well. *turns on Smeag signal*

It's just an instance of intertextual metafiction, is all. It's not really eponymy; eponymy would be if Charles Dickens wrote a novel titled 'Charles Dickens.'

Impress your friends by calling it 'an instance of postmodernism before it was hip.'

'Title Drop' is the commonly-used colloquial term for it.

The Smeag signal really works!

I mean, you just turned it on and he was there!

Title track sentence?
